Futures Challenges – Key Rules Overview

The following rules apply to both the Futures Prime and Futures Classic Challenges:

1. Profit Target

• To pass a challenge phase, your Account Balance must reach the Profit Target, and all positions must be closed (flat).

2. Minimum Trading Days

• You must trade for at least 3 unique trading days per phase for your account to be considered as passed.

  Note: Holding an overnight position in a Futures Classic Challenge will not be considered a new trading day.

3. Inactivity Rule

• If no trades are placed for 21 consecutive days, your account will be considered breached.

4. Maximum Active Earning Accounts

A trader can maintain up to 5 active Earning Accounts. If you pass another challenge beyond this limit:

• The upgrade is queued.

• You may activate it after closing an existing account.

5. Consistency Rule

To pass your Challenge, your profit distribution must be consistent:

• Your best trading day should not exceed 40% of the Profit Target. Any excess profit will be added to your profit target.

The following rules differ between the Futures Prime and Futures Classic Challenges:

Futures Prime Challenges:

1. Daily Pause

The Daily Pause represents the maximum allowable loss within a single trading day. If your losses exceed this limit:

• All open positions will be liquidated.

• Trading is paused until the next trading day.

• The Daily Pause limit resets at 16:00 CT and is updated on your dashboard.

2. Maximum Drawdown

This defines the maximum lifetime loss your account can sustain:

• If your equity drops below the Max Drawdown, your account is breached and closed.

• Drawdown is trailing based on End-of-Day Balance, but only trails up to your starting balance.

3. Overnight Positions

• Holding positions past 15:55 CT is not allowed. Any such positions will be force-closed by Risk Managers.

Futures Classic Challenges:

1. Daily Drawdown

The Daily Drawdown represents the maximum amount you can lose within a single trading day. If your losses reach this limit:

• Your account will be breached and automatically closed.

• The Daily Drawdown limit is recalculated daily based on your Equity at 16:00 CT, when markets close.

• The updated limit is displayed on your Dashboard.

2. Maximum Drawdown

The Maximum Drawdown reflects the total loss allowed over the lifetime of your account. If your account hits this limit:

• It will be breached and automatically closed.

• Drawdown is trailing based on your highest balance at any time throughout the day.

3. Overnight Positions

• You may hold positions overnight, but all positions must be closed by Friday at 16:00 CT (Market Close).

• Holding positions over the weekend is considered high-risk trading and is strictly prohibited.

• Leaving trades open over the weekend will result in a rule breach and account closure.
